The lights at Mesa Temple! Always beautiful.

Christmas eve we made sugar cookies and made Christmas picture frames.

Opening up PJ's on Christmas eve.

Grandma Dance made blankets for the kids and a skirt for Addison.

Addison made me a calendar at school for Christmas. Those are the best gifts. She was smiling from ear to ear when she gave it to me!

Addison's favorite gifts that she got were her lala loopsey doll, money, easel, barbie, and her makeup box. Thanks to all the grandma's and grandpa's for the great gifts!

We had a wonderful Christmas. Carter got his castles and knights lego set, which he's been wanting for awhile. I had him tell me a few of his favorites that he got so I didn't have to name everything. He loved his legos, roller blades, blow gun, nerf guns and the angry birds key chains.

Mel, made these! Addison got a purse and Carter got a yoda which she knitted both. She did a fabulous job.

I hope you all had a great Christmas!

Grandpa came through Arizona so we took him hiking. I think grandma was a little worried he was going to have a heart attack but he survived!

Running down the mountain. Nothing wrong with getting your heart rate up!

Carter has had such a great 8th birthday! He had the birthday party in Idaho, then we came home and had a birthday party at golf land. Carter had a great time with his friends. Then on his birthday we went to dinner with G&G Dance.
